Vol. 2

Six funky, electronic tracks make up the second album from Italo-disco/electro trio IMS. Their take on Italo was heavily informed by US electro and they utilised the distinctive clicks and snaps of the electro-mainstay, the Roland 808 drum machine, in much the same way as electro producers, just at a higher tempo. Their synthetic drum tracks are complimented by minimalist and futuristic synth programming that also recalls early electro records but they also added some very Italo choruses into the mix, as well as a slight sense of camp and some unexpected vocal hooks that together with the tempos move this album comfortably into Italo-disco territory, albeit a stripped-back, US-flavoured version.
